“Factory Five’s newest offering is a credible alternative to the Lotus Exige S or Porsche Boxster Spyder.”
“The kit costs $9,990, so even with an unreasonably cherry WRX donor, the bang for the buck is hard to beat: a Porsche 911 Turbo’s power-to-weight ratio for the price of a well-used Boxster.”
“Ran under 4.0 seconds to 60 mph, fun little beast, like driving a mini Can-Am car.”
“We started with nothing more than a pile of parts, a wrecked Subaru, and an instruction manual, and we finished with a car that can attract drooling bystanders, beat a Porsche on a track, and take you to work every day.”
